Today, we installed the latest openERP 7.0 on our openSuSE 12.1 server. Also, we patched the new openERP 7.0 code similar to our post http://am4computers.com/wordpress/archives/258 to enable RTL support. As of now, all is working great with full support for Arabic and Hebrew.

OpenERP 7.0 with full RTL Right-to-Left Support on openSuSE 12.1
Saturday, June 1st, 2013RTL support in OpenERP 5.0.11 and openSuSE 11.1 64 bits server.
Thursday, September 2nd, 2010Today, we managed to implement a solution that allows RTL Arabic support for OpenERP 5.0.11 reporting engine on our openSuSE 11.1 64 bits server.
It has to do with enabling RTL in ReportLab, which is used by OpenERP to produce PDF reports. Also, OpenERP server code has to be patched to allow it to identify RTL and LTR test direction. OpenERP reporting engine is by default recognizes LTR only.
Support for unicode characters has to be enabled to allow the display of Arab and Hebrew characters.
No more details can be provided as although the solution is open source, we don’t have the permission from the author to publish it.

OpenERP
Friday, February 27th, 2009Today, we have employed OpenERP open source ERP suite for the first time in our offices. It will be used to manage inventories, deliveries, account payables and receivables.
As a first step, we have recorded year 2008 ending inventories. And we will gradually store sales and purchasing data in the database.
OpenERP is an open source suite that is based on a client-server platform. The server connects to a PostgreSQL database and the client connects to the server afterwards.
We will post the outcome of this experiment as more information are available.
